The front wheels do stick out a little further than the rears which from what I can see in pictures of real F250 4X4s is accurate.

Ok, well I didn't know it was a widespread thing! My real-life Jeep Comanche does that, because the body tapers in towards the front. Fully stock, you don't notice it because the wheels are burried deep the wheel wells, but when you add fatter tires and the fronts are flush with the fender flares while the rears still are a bit set in, it's annoying!!! I thought it was isolated to my particular brand and model of truck though. But I guess it showcases the level of accuracy Moebius puts in their kits!!!

Not necessarily.

On the F100 4x4s, the rear track was 4" narrower than the front( same as the 2wd) as they used the '57-'72 9" diff. The F250 4x4s used the dana 60 full floating axle for the rear which matched the front track.

Ford corrected the track difference on the 100/150 in '73 by using a 4" wider 9" diff.

All I had to go by were pictures of actual trucks. I searched but couldn’t find any front or rear axle width specs.
